Alvarez retains undisputed titles with convincing win over Charlo

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez dominated Jermell Charlo on Saturday night, dropping the American en route to a one-sided points win in their historic undisputed title fight.

Canelo entered the T-Mobile Arena as undisputed super-middleweight champion, and he left Las Vegas with that status intact after defeating Charlo, the undisputed super-welterweight champion.

Canelo won a unanimous decision (119-108, 118-109, 118-109), with the highlight coming in Round 7, as the Mexican dropped Charlo to a knee after landing a hard overhand right.

Canelo, 33, marched down Charlo, also 33, for almost the entirety of the fight – the first to pit two undisputed male champions against each other in the four-belt era – and was unaffected by his challenger’s brighter moments.

Sterling Calls Out O’Malley After Grappling Victory at Polaris 25

Aljamain Sterling, the former UFC bantamweight champion, won a decision over Mike Grundy in a grappling match at Polaris 25 on Saturday. The match was a close contest between the two wrestlers, who battled for position and control on the ground. Sterling displayed his toughness and skill with his takedowns and grappling transitions. He managed to edge out Grundy in the 10-minute match, which gave him a much-needed win after he lost his title to O’Malley at UFC 292.

Sterling was not satisfied with just the win, however. He quickly turned his attention to O’Malley, the current UFC bantamweight champion, and challenged him to a rematch in front of the crowd in Wales.

“I have something to say to Mr. Suga T***, because that’s what he is to me,” Sterling yelled. “Hey, give me another shot or fight Merab [Dvalishvili]. It’s that easy.

“Stop hiding from the top fighters and be a man and a real champion. Fight the best of the best. That’s what I did and now you have to do the same thing. Let’s go.”
